We are pleased to announce a minor release of BaseSpaceCLI (0.8.10) with some improvements to existing tools and a new tool – bs wait.

‘bs wait’

The new wait command for BaseSpaceCLI is analogous to the shell command wait and was designed to help connect together separate app launches. The wait command accepts as arguments one or more appsessions and will then wait for these appsessions to finish, polling based on a specified interval (default 60 seconds). Once they have all finished, bs wait returns the appresults that have been generated by the provided appsessions. The intention is that these appresults can then be passed into another app launch, providing some limited app-chaining capabilities.Read More…

Advancing Precision Medicine efforts relies on the ability to make sense of a growing body of genomic data. The need for robust informatics tools and an integrated approach when it comes to acquiring, storing, distributing, and analyzing data is essential.

Join us for our BaseSpace® Suite Summit in Rochester, MN on October 3 and 4. Taking place immediately before the Individualizing Medicine Conference, registration is free. Learn more about our informatics tools and how they’re designed to help you transform complex genomic data into meaningful insights quickly and easily.

Venue and Format
Lodging and Summit activities take place at the Kahler Grand Hotel in Rochester, MN. All day sessions on October 3 and the morning of October 4 include a variety of hands-on, introductory, and training sessions.

Early next week all BaseSpace Sequence Hub accounts will track storage and compute usage.

Our Basic tier users will continue to enjoy 1 Terabyte of storage for free. On top of that we’re crediting your account with 250 free iCredits to use over 30 days to make sure you have a chance to explore all the apps we offer*.

We offer several compute and storage options to fit your needs. Let us know if you’d like to learn more about BaseSpace Sequence Hub tiers.

* iCredits are used to pay for app (compute and license fees) and additional storage charges. Any unused iCredits will expire at the end of this 30 day period.

Illumina and Elsevier R&D Solutions have announced a collaboration to integrate use of Pathway Studio, Elsevier’s database of experimental data and disease models, with Illumina’s BaseSpace Correlation Engine platform, offering them as one seamless solution. Under the terms of the agreement, all licensed Correlation Engine users have free access to Pathway Viewer, an application that enables researchers to quickly view a snapshot of the functional relationships among genes. In addition, researchers are able to find top scoring canonical pathways that correlate most highly with the genes list.

Correlation Engine is a suite of applications that lets users discover the relationships among their results, with billions of correlations derived from the world’s largest curated library of genomic knowledge. The applications contain over 130,000 experimental comparisons from more than a half million samples, drawn from NCBI’s Gene Expression Omnibus and other open-access or controlled-access databases.
